.Look at some of the countries within the EU and define prosperity - Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Italy for example.
You can be part of a prosperous Europe without being in the EU.
Qualifications gained in the UK are not recognised by all member states of the EU. Health professionals, teachers, electrician, plumbers, even pest control operatives find that their qualifications are not recognised should they move to a EU country.
You want free and unrestricted movement across EU borders. So do the unemployed and poor of Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and the economic migrants and refugees given citizenship in those countries. Is that really a good idea?
Why don't you want your kids to be part of a fantastic cultural exchange between countries of the world rather than restrict them to EU members?
You want the UK to be part of a strong union to stand up to Chinese and Indian trade. So why shackle the UK to sluggish, failing economies such as Romania, Greece and others?
You want the UK to be at the heart of the union and driving the agenda. Pray tell me when the UK last had a defining influence on EU policy?
You want the EU project to return to its old values. Is there really any chance of that? Look at the history.
You want the EU to prosecute VW. You don't seem to realise that the EU is driven by Germany and they are hardly likely to prosecute one of their leading companies. America on the other hand has other motives.
You want change in the EU that is never going to happen. Look at the history again. The member states were lured into the agreement on false pretences. Once in they found it impossible to resist the changes forced upon them from within the EU. Changing the voting policy to give smaller members more say strengthens the EU agenda as those small countries are dependent on EU subsidies.
As for Dave's ball rolling. Look at the facts. All he got was an agreement to look at some minor policies subject to EU Parliament approval.It is in the interests of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary amongst others to export their unemployed to the UK to claim benefits there. They will never ratify Dave's demands.
What you are asking for is the ideal of the European Union, not the reality.

I will vote to stay in the EU.
Reasons:-
Mostly personal and some may say selfish
Most people voting to stay IN are doing it for selfish reasons.

I'm seen one or two plates with FMJ on them on range days, but I doubt it would mean anything to most people. Is it possible to have a plate begining PI, followed by the numbers, without being accused of making the "I" look like a "1" ?

No worries about detonation due to empty space in the case, then.

It's bulls of dairy breeds that have to be respected most. The beef breed bulls are usually fairly docile if left alone, not sure about the continental breeds though. CharlieV might be helpful on the subject.

Vote out then. Because the only way that institution is going to change is if it gets a kick up the backside that makes it fear for it`s own existence. Our leaving may cause reform but if we stay it will just be more federalisation.
You beat me to it.

I want my kids to be British Europeans part of a prosperous Europe free to travel and trade. Able to move seamlessly between borders where qualifications are recognised and transferable. I want my kids to be part of the fantastic cultural exchange that is the European Project. I want to be a leading part of the European space project the Airbus project the climate change programme the energy resiliance initiatives. I want the strength that comes from union that will help us restructure and drive standards for the economy of Europe and give us a chance to work with and stand up to China and India and other large emerging economies to build a better way of life for the country. I want the UK to be at the heart of that ideal influencing and driving the agenda.
I want that project to get back to some of the more traditional roles that it was set up for. I want massive change on the movement of labour and I want the standards that were set for the original EU members to be adhered to. I want to see Europe prosecuting VW for its transgressions rather than the US leading the way. I want a stronger modernising agenda that includes the French. In short there is much wrong with the model that needs to change. Gather the groundswell of opinion across the nation states and change will happen. The UK has a huge part to play but it must drive that change from within not without.
Much of what we see as wrong with the model comes in part from our disengagement at government level and the lack of accountability and we should change it. Our Dave started the ball rolling lets build some momentum.
Dream on!

How much can you download the 22-250 and retain accuracy and safety? Does the slower twist rate still work with lower loads and different bullet weights?

Because I'm still a British citizen and will still be resident for another year here or as the future is never sure maybe another few years.
Just like other travelers, **** off and leave someone else to clear up the mess.

Obviously everyone should have their say and they will, I believe alot of the older generation is annoyed as they fell for the government lies when they were young that got us into the EU in the first place and don't want to see a majority of uninformed young falling for the same trick again, most of the campain both in and out is short on facts unless your prepared to do your own research and even then alot of it is very hard to predict anyway. Like I've stated I don't think the older are blaming or wanting to dismiss the young voters they are just using their life experience and don't want to see whole generations making the same mistake they did.

It's just good sense you never know who the guys on site might talk to
My first thought.
Let then see you fitting security cameras if you don't want to store them elsewhere.

Quite a few posters have remarked about the younger votes wanting to stay in. Let's not forget, we are talking about the future of the country not the past. The youth are the future. The country where they will be working, paying taxes and building the economy whilst the older voters will be retiring or already have. As such I think it's wrong to dismiss their viewpoint, if anything I personally think it should be more relevant, regardless of whether their intention is to vote to stay in or to leave that their voice is considered.
The younger generations will be voting for what they see as their future. The older people voting OUT will also be voting with future generations prospects in mind.

I think that the EU is far from perfect but I am in general more pro than con.
I travel through Europe a lot to get to Norway, an EEA country, and work surrounded by other nationalities, Norwegians, Danes, Italians, Dutch, French, Polish, Estonians etc etc, but I can also be the only Brit on the rig. It would be hypocritical of me to bemoan other nationalities working in the UK yet myself go abroad to work. Also to be honest I am on a very good number and do not want to jeopardize that in any way.
Where are your wages paid?

I didn't vote last time and I won't vote this time for the same reason as above.

If a 40grn 22rf subsonic bullet leaving the barrel at less than 1100 fps will kill a rabbit at 100 yrds, I think a 60rn .224 bullet from a .223 doing over 2000 fps at 300 yrds should be sufficient.
-
But does the 223 have enough about it to expand its bullets effectively at these ranges?
What velocity do you think is necessary?
-
If its off at 200 rounds was it ever on. 200 rounds why are you selling it?
It was my first centrefire and got seduced by the numbers. Once I got a synthetic SSG in .308 that I could get wet, I just didn't take it out any more. I've got a second .308(Tikka) on the way and have to make room for it on the FAC. Like you say, .270 is out of fashion, even a Sauer-based rifle.
-
Plenty of young grass about for goslings.
-
Did any of them have stainless barrels? 5,000 rounds sounds pretty good. I'm trying to sell a .270 at the moment without much success, even though it's had less than 200 rounds through it.

I fear staying IN more than getting OUT. Gaddafi once said. "We'll send a million men to your country, each will have 6 wives and each wife will have 6 children".

.22250 i can not say enough good things about them, i am on my third now in 40 years of using them,
Did you buy them new? Would you buy a second hand 22-250? If so, would you have bought one of your discards?

You Can not live on 600 calories a day for life if you don't have carbs and suger you don't need insulin that's how it works .as soon as some one eats normally everything reverts back.
Someone I know was told to lose weight so that she could have a growth removed. She was not getting anywhere with the diet and the hospital had her in because they said she must be cheating on the diet. She was put on 600 calories a day and at the end of the first week she had put on 3.5 lbs. She eventually had the operation and they removed 17lb of crystallized hormones.
